Also, the Germans (and many others) will send the beer into the lagering tank with a few "points" left on the fermentation. Not only will this naturally carbonate the beer, but also drive out the oxygen. The spund valve is left to vent for 12 to 24 hours, then closed and set. We've all seen those bubbler things hanging off the lager tanks. Diacetyl production (or the formation of it) will also depend on the yeast strain.
